When it came to the last 10 minutes, I think we controlled it and they seemed to be out of ideas. Then, when we thought we won the game, it's a bit of a delusion to draw it. And, of course, the delusion is even bigger to lose it.

Did I ever doubt that Beckham should carry on as England captain in the future? No way. I have never doubted that. Of course, I appreciate his apology. I haven't read it exactly, as I was with the team. But that's very good.

Everything depends on how many injuries we have. The door is open to everyone but if everyone is fit then I'm quite sure of 19 or 20 at least.

Every time France doesn't win a football game it is a surprise. I think they (Croatia) played very, very well and it will be a tough game on Monday for us.

The priority is a sage, inspiring, leader-by-example who is unyielding in principle and valor.

What can I say about him that has not been said? He was absolutely fantastic. Wayne deserves all the attention and front and back pages for what he is doing here.

To have the same preparation as all the other countries is important. It would have been very difficult to have one week less.

Together they have played well in the past and I think they are doing well. Michael Owen has not scored a goal in this tournament yet, but he will score. I'm not worried about that.

This season we haven't performed as we should do, and we have to do that tomorrow.

We all have knives to our necks, if we want to play in the World Cup. I'm sure they and we will respond in a very positive way. I could not even dream of not qualifying for the World Cup. We have to win those two games. I have no doubts that the players are good enough.
